Protecting Our Purpose and Feminine Design — with Jamie Rathjen
Season 2, Episode 25 | Originally aired on October 26, 2020
About the episode
"If I can say fiat to God, I can help other women say fiat as well, not only to God but also to their God-given body."
Through a track injury, an extra year of school and a presentation in a women's health course, Jamie Rathjen's life and professional path was changed. Combine all of this with a stunning invitation to give her fiat to God a few years later, and you have a champion for the dignity of women, their fertility, and their divine design. As a FertilityCare practitioner, podcaster and speaker, all of Jamie's work is oriented towards educating and helping women recognize the beauty and meaning in the way that God created us and our cycles. In this episode, Jamie and I talk about how she became interested in and passionate about fertility awareness, the relationship she has through the word fiat, and the different ways she promotes and protects the divine design God gave us.

Meet Jamie Rathjen
Jamie Rathjen earned her Master’s degree in Community Health Education where she studied the effectiveness of fertility awareness methods and how little they are discussed in medical settings. Jamie now makes it her mission to educate women and couples on the truths of their fertility and the benefits these natural methods will have on women’s health and in marital relationships.
"Fiat,” or “let it be done to me according to your will” (Luke 1:38) is Jamie’s life verse and inspiration for her work as a speaker and as a Creighton Model FertilityCare Practitioner. Jamie's work as founder of Guiding Star Cedar Valley, Fiat FertilityCare Center, and founder/owner of FIATfem, was through the inspiration of Our Lady of Guadalupe. After praying one night for the name she was to give her ministry “fiat” fell into her mind. She felt a personal invitation from the Lord to share the truth about God's creation with all who would listen. God invited her to say “fiat” or "yes" to his request by assisting couples to say “yes” to their bodies and to children that come from them.
Jamie is also the co-host of the podcast The Hormone Genius Podcast with Teresa Kenney.
